Мудрые изречения 3
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Другие достоинства мудрости
3 Сын мой, не забывай моего поучения
и в сердце храни мои повеления:
2 они продлят дни твоей жизни
и принесут тебе благоденствие.
3 Не дай любви и верности покинуть тебя;
обвяжи ими шею свою,
запиши их на сердце своём.
4 Тогда ты найдёшь расположение и доброе имя
у Всевышнего и у людей.
5 Доверяй Вечному от всего сердца
и не полагайся на собственный разум;
6 познавай Его во всех своих путях,
и Он сделает ровными твои дороги[a].
7 Не будь мудрецом в своих глазах;
бойся Вечного и избегай зла.
8 Это принесёт здоровье твоему телу
и укрепит твои кости.
9 Чти Вечного своим достоянием,
первыми плодами от всех своих урожаев.[b]
10 Тогда наполнятся до отказа твои амбары,
и молодое вино переполнит твои давильни.
11 Сын мой, не отвергай наказания от Вечного
и не презирай Его обличения,
12 ведь Вечный обличает того, кого любит,
как отец – сына, который ему угоден.
13 Благословенны те, кто находит мудрость,
те, кто обретают понимание,
14 потому что мудрость выгоднее серебра
и приносит больший доход, чем золото.
15 Она дороже драгоценных камней;
ничто из желаемого тобой не сравнится с ней.
16 Долгая жизнь – в её правой руке,
а в левой – богатство и слава.
17 Пути её – пути приятные,
и все дороги её – мирные.
18 Дерево жизни она для тех, кто овладеет ею;
благословенны те, кто её удержит.
19 Мудростью Вечный основал землю,
разумом утвердил небеса;
20 знанием Его были освобождены воды[c],
и проливаются дождём облака.
21 Сын мой, храни здравомыслие и рассудительность,
не теряй их из вида;
22 они будут жизнью для тебя,
будут милостью, словно ожерелье на твоей шее.
23 Тогда пойдёшь по пути своему в безопасности,
и ноги твои не споткнутся;
24 когда ляжешь, не будешь бояться,
когда уснёшь, твой сон будет сладок.
25 Не бойся внезапной беды
и гибели, что поразит нечестивых,
26 потому что Вечный будет твоей надеждой[d];
Он сохранит твои ноги от западни.
27 Не отказывай в благе тем, кто его достоин,
когда это в твоей власти.
28 Не говори ближнему: «Приходи-ка попозже, я дам тебе завтра»,
когда у тебя есть то, что он просит.
29 Не замышляй зла против ближнего,
который без опаски живёт рядом с тобой.
30 Не ссорься ни с кем без повода,
когда тебе не причинили зла.
31 Не завидуй жестокому
и не избирай ни одного из его путей,
32 потому что мерзок Вечному коварный,
а праведному Он доверяет.
33 На доме нечестивого – проклятие Вечного,
но жилище праведных Он благословляет.
34 Он высмеивает гордых насмешников,
но смиренным Он даёт благодать.
35 Мудрые унаследуют славу,
а глупцы – позор.

Proverbs 3
English Standard Version
Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart
3 (A)My son, do not forget my teaching,
(B)but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for (C)length of days and years of life
and (D)peace they will add to you.
3 Let not (E)steadfast love and (F)faithfulness forsake you;
(G)bind them around your neck;
(H)write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will (I)find favor and (J)good success[a]
in the sight of God and man.
5 (K)Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and (L)do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways (M)acknowledge him,
and he (N)will make straight your paths.
7 (O)Be not wise in your own eyes;
(P)fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be (Q)healing to your flesh[b]
and (R)refreshment[c] to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with (S)the firstfruits of all your produce;
10 then your (T)barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.
11 (U)My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as (V)a father the son in whom he delights.
Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom
13 (W)Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
14 (X)for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than (Y)gold.
15 She is more precious than (Z)jewels,
and (AA)nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 (AB)Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are (AC)riches and honor.
17 Her (AD)ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is (AE)a tree of life to those who (AF)lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.
19 (AG)The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
by understanding (AH)he established the heavens;
20 by his knowledge (AI)the deeps broke open,
and (AJ)the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, (AK)do not lose sight of these—
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be (AL)life for your soul
and (AM)adornment for your neck.
23 (AN)Then you will walk on your way securely,
(AO)and your foot will not stumble.
24 (AP)If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, (AQ)your sleep will be sweet.
25 (AR)Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of (AS)the ruin[d] of the wicked, when it comes,
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will (AT)keep your foot from being caught.
27 (AU)Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[e]
when it is in your power to do it.
28 (AV)Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
29 (AW)Do not plan evil against your neighbor,
who (AX)dwells trustingly beside you.
30 (AY)Do not contend with a man for no reason,
when he has done you no harm.
31 (AZ)Do not envy (BA)a man of violence
and do not choose any of his ways,
32 for (BB)the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are (BC)in his confidence.
33 (BD)The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he (BE)blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the (BF)scorners he (BG)is scornful,
(BH)but to the humble he gives favor.[f]
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get[g] disgrace.

Proverbs 3
New King James Version
Guidance for the Young
3 My son, do not forget my law,
(A)But let your heart keep my commands;
2 For length of days and long life
And (B)peace they will add to you.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
(C)Bind them around your neck,
(D)Write them on the tablet of your heart,
4 (E)And so find favor and [a]high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
5 (F)Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
(G)And lean not on your own understanding;
6 (H)In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall [b]direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own (I)eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your [c]flesh,
And (J)strength[d] to your bones.
9 (K)Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 (L)So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 (M)My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
(N)Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
13 (O)Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
14 (P)For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies,
And (Q)all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
16 (R)Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
17 (S)Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
18 She is (T)a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who [e]retain her.
19 (U)The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;
20 By His knowledge the depths were (V)broken up,
And clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.
23 (W)Then you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
25 (X)Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26 For the Lord will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.
27 (Y)Do not withhold good from [f]those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
28 (Z)Do not say to your neighbor,
“Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you.
29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
For he dwells by you for safety’s sake.
30 (AA)Do not strive with a man without cause,
If he has done you no harm.
31 (AB)Do not envy the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways;
32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord,
(AC)But His secret counsel is with the upright.
33 (AD)The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
But (AE)He blesses the home of the just.
34 (AF)Surely He scorns the scornful,
But gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise shall inherit glory,
But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
